As a geek, I have always known that I’m a little different from many folks out there. My daughter, who is three, has already expressed interest in geeky things at a young age. So the new children’s book, Being Different Is A Good Thing, which features Furry Feline characters, has been great in helping her know there is nothing wrong with being different.

The Furry Feline characters are a line of plush animals, but this new children’s book brings these characters to life. Being Different Is A Good Thing tells the story of Chef Tako, who is an octopus. He becomes concerned because all of his friends have tails and he doesn’t. He does finally realize that being different is a good thing, by embracing the things that are good about him and not worrying that he doesn’t have a tail.

This was a really sweet story with cute characters. My daughter really enjoyed it and it’s currently one of her favorite books to have read to her. I’d recommend Being Different Is A Good Thing to any parent of young kids to help bring the point across that being different is just fine.
